What kind of tile is Brickstone Red 5x10?
We stock Brickstone Red 5x10 as porcelain in a brick shape, 5X10. It reads red. Fired denser than ordinary ceramic, porcelain has near-zero water absorption, which is why it also goes on floors and wet walls. The store classes it as glazed.
Sizes and finishes
How it is actually sold — measured off the spec sheet, not rounded.
Sizes
Brickstone Red 5x10 is made in a single size, 5X10. That makes layout simple — what you see in the sample is the module you get across the whole wall.

Planning the wall
What Brickstone Red 5x10 works out to on your wall, from its own published size.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 5×10 | 29 | 3.6 ft |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
At 5×10, Brickstone Red 5x10 puts about 29 pieces on every 10 square feet of wall and about 3.6 feet of grout line on every square foot.
The spec sheet lists it as pressed rather than rectified: the edges are as they left the press, slightly softer, and the joints are set a little wider to suit.
Counts are before cuts — outlets, window returns and the ends of a run all take pieces. The install itself, from wall prep to caulk, is on our backsplash installation page.

Brickstone Red 5x10 or Brickstone Red 2x10?
Brickstone Red 5x10 and Brickstone Red 2x10 are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, collection, style, glaze type, PEI rating, shade-variation rating, certifications, edge and color listing. What separates them:
- Brickstone Red 5x10 is made in 5X10; Brickstone Red 2x10 in 2x10. On 10 square feet of wall that is about 29 pieces of Brickstone Red 5x10 against about 72 of Brickstone Red 2x10, and 3.6 against 7.2 feet of grout line per square foot.
- Measured off each swatch, Brickstone Red 5x10 reads #B68A71 (mid-light, warm) and Brickstone Red 2x10 reads #B5927E (mid-light, warm), so Brickstone Red 5x10 sits about as light as Brickstone Red 2x10 on the wall.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Shade variation: V4 — substantial variation
Substantial variation is the point of a tile like this, and it is also how orders go wrong. One production run, overage bought up front, and a dry lay you actually walk over to look at.
Wear rating: PEI 4
PEI is the industry abrasion class, 1 to 5. At PEI 4 this tile is rated for residential floors and light commercial use — more wear rating than a house will spend.
Certifications
On the certification side, Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. The Gold standard was written for schools, which is a stricter bar than a kitchen would ever have to clear. Worth a LEED credit too, on the jobs that track them.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Brickstone Red 5x10 itself, not from its name.
Measured, not guessed: #B68A71, mid-light and warm. The nearest color we hold pairings for is Warm Speckled Stone (Granite). It carries real color rather than reading as a neutral, so it will drive the rest of the room more than a white tile would.
Cabinets
- Olive Drab Green — Olive cabinets and warm stone share the same earthen yellow base, so the kitchen reads as one grown thing rather than parts from a catalog.. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials current
- Dusty Blue — Warm stone keeps dusty-blue cabinets from tipping nursery — the sandy flecks pull the blue toward coastal-grownup, and the busy surface hides crumbs between wipe-downs.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current
- Warm White / Ivory — traditional comfort; undertones agree. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out solid
- Espresso — the 2008 set — honest but aging; modernize with slab tops instead. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element dated

Questions about Brickstone Red 5x10
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Brickstone Red 5x10?
Brickstone Red 5x10 comes in one size, 5X10. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.
Where can I use Brickstone Red 5x10?
Its maker rates it for flooring. We hold to that rating when we quote — installing outside it is how a warranty claim gets denied.
Will the tiles match the sample I saw?
Brickstone Red 5x10 is rated V4 — substantial variation, by design. Two pieces side by side can look like different products. Order from one production run, buy the overage up front, and insist on a dry lay. This is the rating that generates complaints when nobody was told.
Can Brickstone Red 5x10 go on a floor?
Yes, comfortably. At PEI 4 it is rated past residential floors into light commercial traffic, so it will outlast the kitchen around it.
What color is Brickstone Red 5x10, really?
We measured its own swatch at #B68A71 — mid-light and warm. It carries real color rather than reading as a neutral, so it will drive the rest of the room more than a white tile would. Names are marketing; that number is what the camera saw.
Does Brickstone Red 5x10 need sealing?
No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
